Standing- of tlie Clubx. Certainly things are beginning to tighten up on the baseball war. President Lucas has denied that Salt Lake City and Ogden are to be taken into the Pacific National League. Dugdale has emphatically de clared that he will not consider letting down the birs to the two Utah cities. Harry Hart, chief owner in the San Fran cisco and Los Angeles teams, says he's willing, and, getting right to Home, Dr. Emmet Drake, president of the Green gages, says they will have to show him before he will consent to such a move. In making his denial of the rumor. President Lucas takes occasion to an nounce that be has a better card up his sleeve to play aboinst the Pacific Coast League, and that it will be ready for the show-down when the Pacific National magnates meet at Spokane Juno 25 to 28. Just what sort of a card Lucas has is hard to guess, but if his statement Is to be believed, the magnates of the Pacific Coast League had better be hunting their holes, for everv town outside of Portland, where President Lucas Is not considered juicy chops, thinks he Is tho rarest base ball magnate in tho business. The feel ing between Portland and Lucas is mu tual. Lucas has broken into print with hard things to say about the city things, If ho should live a thousand years, he will not bo forgiven for saying and, knowing this, the president of the Pacific National League quite naturally feels that he does not like the town. McCloskey is another man who thinks that Portland is about, tho cheapest and rankest town on any map. But what Portland thinks of Mc Closkey is in keeping with what Helena thinks of this baseball manager. Even Dugdale, who knows Mac of old, smiles grimly when McCloskey's name is men tioned. "Why, even Dugdale asked how It came about that he was called "Hon est John." Tho fat Seattle manager thought tho appellation was a token of Mao's true worth until it was explained that it was Intended for sarcasm. Three Dlsfcruntled. Clubs. But this is not the baseball war. That things are being cooked up by the Pacific Kational Leaguo people cannot bo too strongly stated. They are getting ready to .do something, and when they deem it fit to give it to the public there will be some surprises. It is a well-known fact that Portland, Helena and Butte got. the raw end of tho schedule deal, and the guilty parties are known, so It won't do any good to duck when they read this paragraph. Poor Helena and Butte had to send homo for money to get them out of California. This is not denied by either of tho two cities. Portland did nothing in San Francisco but lose games, but in Los Angeles, according to Dr. Drako and Jack Grim, the Greengages irado enough to cover the expenses of the trip. Let It be hoped they did, for it wasn't with the knowledge and consent of thoso who made up the schedule. There will be excuses for this schedule, but all the apologizing that Lucas and others could do from now until the crack of doom will never convince Drake et al. that Portland, Helena and Butte were sent to California for the purpose of trying the cure on the dog, and, if It didn't kill, then Dugdale and Spokane would try it later on. Perhaps they will, but Dugdale is not bubbling over with a desire to try it. IIovf to Have Made Money. Had this schedulo been arranged for the benefit of all instead of four, the logical thing would have been for Seattle, Spo kane and Butte to go to California. It is in these three towns that the money Is. Dugdalo was well and favorably know in Seattle. He has one of the best baseball heads of any man In the business in this section of the country. He has tho con fidence of the people of Seattle, and, with out saying things about Parke Wilson, he has the baseball situation in that city cornered. Circumstances that have dumped all sorts of hard luck in Wilson's camp are In a measure responsible for this, and Dugdalo's popularity is the main reason. With all this in his favor, he could have gone to Son Francisco and Los Angeles and opened the season and returned homo no worse off for the jour ney. Spokane Is the best-paying baseball city on the whole Pacific National League circuit. The city has baseball rabies bad ly, and to have tho team .opening away from home would not have hurt the re ceipts very much. Tho financial lo however, which Portland, Helena and Butte sustained on this trip was a crip pler, and while Butte and Helena have been playing at home to good crowds and navo repiomsneti tneir depleted excheq ner, tho Greengages have not been so luck', for in addition to playing to poor crowds, on account, of almost continued opposition, they have been up against some hard weather. The trip north helped tho Greengages financially, and this sec ond trip will help them still more, but tho second trip to California, even if they do a fair amount of business, will bo a heavy drain. Another sample of this schedule is tho way Los Angeles has been carefully guarded. Charley Reilly makes two trips north, but he is only seen once In Port land, while McCloskey has been hero and will come again. Los Angeles does not como to Portland until September, and yet tho team Is north and has been playing Helena, Spokane, Butte and Seattle. Per haps Lucas can tell why Portland did not cet a chance to see Reilly's team in ac tion before the season was worn to frazzle. Kellly's team would have been a splendid attraction in Portland. The fans know Charley, and he has a good team, and a team that is now to tho fans, so there would be no end of interest in a series between the Angels and tho Green gages. This bit of help was denied the Greengages, and It was no more than right that Drako and Grim should kick about returning to Los Angeles, although it does sooxn a bit inconsistent to have refused to return to Los Angeles if what they say about the gate receipts is true. But in consistent or not inconsistent, the Green gage management kicked, and justly so. about getting a bad deal at the hands of Lucas, when in return they were to see Bellly only once at home and three times while they were on the road. Xevr Man for President. For their deal in this wobbly schedule Butte and Helena have not the most pro found love for Lucas. Both cities, like Portland, have said some things about Lucas and his capabilities as tho "brains' of a baseball situation. There has been a murmur against lam, and in some sec tiona it would not bo surprising if he were called upon to tender his reslgna tloa. This was hinted at by a stockhold cr in one of the clubs during a talk over tho Portland situation the other day. This man bad been sent here for the purpose of looking over the ground and to learn, jr possible, what was the matter with Portland. He found, and he admitted to the writer, that it was Lucas and tho things ho had said about Portland. Ho also intimated that to appease Portland It was necessary that another man. ono acceptable to this city, should be persuad cd to pilot the Pacific National Leaguo. Won. Lost. P.C.

Joe Walcott Has $2000 to Wager That He Will Win Both Down to Weight. There Is a song which says something about tho strange ""Amalgamation of a Chinese and a Coon." but the song Is yet to be written about representatives of these two nationalities doing a boxing stunt. Ah Wing is the Chinese who will take a try at Young Peter Jackson, the dusky son of Ham who confidently hopes to make Joe Walcott take the count on Thursday night Ah Wing strolled Into Jackson's train ing camp yesterday afternoon and In formed Al Herford that he was the cham pion of all China because Woo Ting Fang had so declared him on his return from Washington. In order to give the almond eyed boxer a chance to show what he has up his sleeve, Al Herford consented to allow Jackson to box with him this afternoon at his training tent at Park and Flanders streets. This will also be Peter's last day of hard work, and in or der to give everybody a. chance to see him in action, not onl7 with Ah Wing, he will take on his two sparring partners for four rounds each. Jackson is within a pound of the weight stipulated by the agreement. Walcott, while he is not cutting up any didoes and trying out freak boxers. Is alBO down to weight. All this is because Joe has pitched his tepee In cultured Boston and must needs be aloof. Joe has the Boston accent, and If he only wore plnce nez glasses the atmosphere of the town that gave the greatest tea party on rec ord would stick out all over him, for his clothing has the unmistakable Boston cut. ZIck Abrams. of San Francisco, will head a delegation of California sports who are coming on to see the battle. In the party will be Harry Corbett, Jerry Drls coll, Ed Wilson, Colonel Brady and a number of others. Zlck Abrams will be timekeeper for. Jackson. AbramB will also bet a chunk of money on Herford's protege. This fight between Walcott and Jack son, because of its championship charac ter, has attracted great attention and tho demands for seats were so great that they were placed on sale a day earlier than usual. There is also considerable betting on the result of the fight, and, while the odds now stand 10 to 8, with Walcott on the long end. Indications are that the money will be even at ringside Walcott has a pot of money which he intend? to wager -on himself, but he Is waiting for the money to drop even. If he cannot get even money he will bet $2000 at 10 to 8. Big Jack Johnson has another 51000 that he will wager on Walcott. Her ford has not Indicated what amount he will wager on Peter, but when he turns lose he will make a couple of thou sand look like a Chinese yen. successive occupants of Its soil: First, the wild animals; second, the .Indians; third, the discoverers and pioneers, the hunters, trappers and explorers; and fourth, the advanced races, French, Span ish and American, that have built up its present status of civilization.

University of Wnshlngton Athletics. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, June 15. (Special.) Last week closed the most successful year in athletics at the University of Washington in tha history of the college. The institution has taken up nearly every branch of sport and has a winning record in all the different phases. The football team of last fall won every college game by a good margin and was undoubtedly one of the fastest aggregations that has played in tho Northwest for the past few years. Out of the poorest prospects and material. Coach Knight made an eleven in a few short weeks which represented the best team Washington has had. The spring sports have been fully as successful as those earlier in the year. While the TJ was really in baseball for the first time she easily won the collegiate champion ship of the three states. In the contests against club teams the 'Varsity broke more than even. On May 29 the Victoria nine met Its first defeat at the hands of the collegians. William D. Brlnker has been elected to succeed Roscoe Teats as captain for the coming year. Harvard Will Meet Oxford. NEW YORK. June 15. International athletics will receive additional impetus during tho coming week, when the la crosse forces of Oxford and Cambridge are arrayed against Harvard at Soldiers Field, Cambridge, Wednesday.

These columns form arcs, in each of which is a pedestal sup porting a statue of a seated draped fe male figure, symbolic of one of tho states or territories formed from the Louisiana Purchase. The statues are 20 feet high, and, de signed by different sculptors, they fulfill Foe's definition of the essential charac ter of a poem, "variety In uniformity." The approaches to the cascades will con tain portrait statues of aborigines, dis coverers, pioneers and statesmen, such as De Soto and Marquette, Lewis and Clark. Livingston, Monroe, and Franklin, Daniel Boone and Sitting BulL The he roic statues of Jefferson and Napoleon, the former by Daniel C French, the lat ter by J. Q. A. Ward, will stand at the edge of the big basin. Sculpture will be an Interesting and striking feature of the exposition. The appropriation for this department is 5500, 000, of which about 5100.000 is for perma nent work. The general scheme is de signed to symbolize the history of tho Louisiana territory, representing the four Johnstown Disaster Only One Which Surpassed that at Ucpiiner. The flood at Heppner Is the worst as regards loss of life since that which overwhelmed Johnstown. Pa., on May 31. 1SS9. It Is probable that in .proportion to the size of the town the destruction la greater, for Johnstown at that time had 30.000 peoplo and the most careful Inquiry, led to the conclusion that the loss of life was about 2200, while Hepp ner has lost 200 of Its 1400 people. Much of the group of boroughs which made up the community of Johnstown was on the sldehllls overlooking the valley and was above the reach of the deluge, while the most authentic Information Is that almost the whole city of Heppner was destroyed. Johnstown Is an iron and steel manu facturing' town at the confluence of the Conemaugh river and Stony creek, which flow from the western slope of the Al legheny mountains. Seven miles above the city, at the head of the south fork of the Conemaugh was a reservoir which had been made to supply the old Pennsylvania canal with water. The canal was sold by the state to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the reservoir went with It. The railroad was built on the bed of the canal and the reservoir was sold to the South Fork Hunting and Fishing Club, composed of wealthy PIttsburgers. The club built cottages along its banks, where it bought a large tract of land, and maintained the dam with the mini mum repairs. The lake was seven milei long and contained a huge body of water. At the end of May. 1SS9. a series of rainstorms throughout the Allegheny mountains culminated in a cloudburst on the headwaters of Conemaugh, which raised the lake to a level with the dam until water poured over the top. The dam was weakened and worn away until at last a huge gap was torn throughout its height and the whole lake plunged down tho narow valley with overwhelm ing force. The wall of water, 00 feet high, swept tho hills clear of timber as it advanced and carried the trees, still upright, to gether with a great mass of rocks and earth, before it. Thus those who saw the flood coming on as they looked down from the hills above Johnstown compared it to a forest marching down the valley. When the flood reached the part of tho valley Just above Johnstown, where it widens out, the mass of timber and debris split in the middle, the water rushed through the gap and spread over the cltr.', battering down the houses with the huge missies which floated on Its surface. The South Fork dam had been a con stant menace to the city, and many times tho question of its being strengthened or removed had been agitated. There had been many false alarms of Its having burst, so that when a warning was sent out about 4:30 on the fatal afternoon by Mrs. Ogle, tho chief operator of the West ern Union office, it was generally regard ed as only another false cry of "wolf." Mrs. Ogle remained at her post to the last, sending warnings down the valley, and lost her life by her devotion. When It was realized at South Fork that the dam could not be held., a young man mounted a horse and rode at breakneck speed down the valley, warning the peo pie to flee for their lives, but the swift rush of the water overtook him while he was still spreading the alarm in the fated city. Tho devastation wrought In the city almost ba filed description. The water and the missiles it carried with it beat against the stone bridge by which the Pennsyl vania Railroad crossed both streams just at their confluence, and after sweeping the land clear for half a mile up from the tongue of land formed by tho converging rivers, it formed a jam of wreckage against the bridge. For a moment its progress was stayed and it cleared track across the most thickly built part of the city, from Conemaugh to Stony Creek. .A space 1000 yards wide was thus denuded of houses and converted by the deposit of mud and sand into a waste where no human foot seemed to have ever trodden. The same condition existed on the tongue of land at the confluence. The main street between these two swaths re malned standing, piled with drift from wall to wall almost to the second ilooor. Frame houses floated off their foundations, with their terror-stricken occupants still In them, and were dashed to pieces against the bridge. .Some people leaped from their houses as they drifted near the bank, and were dragged to safety by those who had escaped. Others fell short, and fell In the surging waters, where they were beaten to death by the floating logs. A passenger train was standing on the track at the town, and the passengers had to flee up the hill, but about 20 were over taken by the flood. All this destruction was the work of about a minute, for the mass of water soon cut a new channel through the em bankment built by the railroad company north of the bridge. It thus left a huge pile of drift piled against the bridge, blocking both original channels. In this drift pile were entangled hundreds of bodies of human beings, horses, cows, dogs and cats. As some of the floating houses broke up they were set on Are by the hot coals in the stoves, and soon the surface of the whole mass was ablaze and the bodies of the dead were roasted, News of the disaster reached Pittsburg about 6 o clock that night, and the peopl of that city promptly took steps for the relief of the survivors. At a public meet ing at 10 o'clock next morning $150,000 was subscribed, and at 4 o'clock in the after noon the first relief train started. could not go beyond Sang Hollow, four miles below the city, and the committee, composed of the leading citizens of Pitts burg, carried supplies by hand where the track was entirely gone and then loaded them on flat cars, which they pushed the rest of the way. Relief poured in from all directions, and the tracks were soon blockaded with trains. The only cause of delay was the havoc the flood had wrought on the railroads, for the flood had been general throughout the state, and the Pennsylvania road was wiped out for 30 miles down the Juniata River east of the summit. The state appointed a relief commission, and the Nation gave over $1,000,000 to aid the distressed. Many of the homeless survivors were taken to Pittsburg and cared for. The state put men to work to clear away the ruins and sent two regiments of militia to preserve order. Adjutant-General D. H. Hastings was put in charge, for the Mayors of the several towns were either dead or crazed with grief. The finding of bodies continued for weeks after the flood, and hundreds were never identified, for they were disfigured beyond recognition, and many had every shred of clothing torn off them. By dill- gent inquiry a census of tho town as it was before the flood was made, and the names of the survivors were taken out. By this process the number of dead was fixed at approximately 2CC0. The prop erty los3 amounted into the tens of mil lions of dollars, the greatest loser bIng the Pennsylvania Railroad.

About a quarter to nine that morning the people were all out on the streets watching the flood when some of them went up the hill to look down on It and to look up the canyon. They saw trees coming down the canyon In front of a wall of water and all man ner of debris with them. They gave a cry to warn the people to get out, as the flood was only a mile away and everybody escaped to high ground except one old woman. She had been taken out of her daughter's house but had gone back for a shawl. "When the water spread out in the valley, after rushing out of the canyon, it was only about' half way up to her knees, but she stuck in the mud and was carried off her feet. "There was not a sign of danger In the town, for it was a clear, sunny morning, but the cloudburst had happened about 17 miles farther trp the river. The can yon had been heavily timbered, but the 'flood cleared off every stick and swept all before It, and big rocks, bowldera and masses of earth came also and they spread over the town to a depth of seven to 10 feet and cover it to this day. "There was a big brick vault behind the bank, which had a safe In It weigh ing 5600 pounds. The flood smashed the vault and washed away the safe, bury ing it so completely that it has neves been found."

The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrop of Fig3 is an excellent laxative remedy and that it- gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as. Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name " Syrup of Figs"-yor "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.-printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness.
